A film to introduce the topic of teenage rebellion. Though the film is now dated, are any of its elements still relevant to the youth of today? A class discussion could centre on Peter’s reasons for wanting to leave home. Are they legitimate? Could he solve his problems in any other way(s)? Identify his poor choices that made returning home impossible. What will his future hold, as a result?
